I've had several issues myself with the church, with religion, and it's beliefs. And I questioned it and looked for the answers, and got them. If you have issues, look for an answer, and when you are pleased, go that way.

Thanks. Sorry if I snapped at you. I am very educated on both religions, and more. I've tried out both religions. For a while I chose Christianity. But I was 9 then, and it was just because they celebrate Christmas. I still celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Passover, Roshashana, and Purim. I respect my Mom's belief in Christianity (though she's not religious) and I respect my Dad's family for wanting to celebrate these holidays together.

Do you then think that Dr. Martin Luther King died because he was a very foolish man? Or Mahatma Ghandi?
I suspect that your mind cannot comprehend the motivations of men who love others so much, and want to improve other's lives so much, and want to bring about change so much, that they do not let threat of death or torture deter them from trying to effect change for the sake of others, such dedication and love is alien to you. Therefore, you call their self sacrifice "foolish".
Try to see at least half the vision they had, and if you understand it, and understand what they accomplished you may be able to see that they were not as very foolish as you thought they were. Perhaps they understood that they were investing their lives for the betterment of everyone, not "dying because they were very foolish". Can you comprehend such a depth of love? Obviously not.

That's impossible. If someone doesn't understand that what someone says is always subjective, then it's not the fault of the speaker to clarify this.
Even data is just the data the speaker has received, not absolute and accurate data.
Now, I agree with Humane's comparison of Jesus with Dr. King and Gandhi, but both of them have just stated their opinions, whether they're factual or consistent is beside the point.

I'm broke!
I find it odd that there are so many women in the crowd for some wrestling show.
I found the soccer game on TVU. w00t.

Soccer is shite. Watch a REAL sport, like darts!
No, seriously, soccer is crap. Ice hockey is where the action's at.

Soccer (american) was on TV last night in the shitty hotel my friends and I were staying at. There were only two channels which were some sports channel and CNN. After soccer there was ice hockey.
Cool beans.

Ice hockey all the way. Only sport worth watching. Plus there are some pretty hot hockey chicks out there that don't mind me hitting on them at matches.
